Frequently Asked Questions

What is paediatric physiotherapy?

Paediatric physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy which services people from birth to 18 years of age. We work on gross motor skills (rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, jumping, throwing, etc), strength building, stretching/ range of motion, and balance/ coordination. We can help kiddos who have suffered an injury such a sprained ankle or a concussion to heal properly. We can screen kiddos for gross motor delays (not meeting their milestones), kindergarten readiness and educate parents who are worried about their kiddos potentially falling behind and give them some useful resources. 

What does in-home physiotherapy mean?     

In-home physiotherapy means that any of the services provided by Kiddo Physio will occur in your home. Our therapist and any equipment needed that you do not already have in your home come to you on a day and time that works best with your schedule. 

What age groups do you see?

We treat birth to 21 years of age.

Is it covered by insurance?

All physiotherapy services are provided by a registered physiotherapist and would be covered by any insurance provider that provides physiotherapy coverage.
